The Safety of Natural Therapies Author: Dr. D.S. Braun
If you suffer from ANY of the following conditions, PLEASE seek the advice of your doctor before using ANY natural remedy - whether it be aromatherapy oils and blends or herbal teas, tinctures, supplements, salves, etc. Epilepsy (some oils/herbs can actually send you into a seizure!) High Blood Pressure Low Blood Pressure Skin Sensitivity Coagulation Disorders Hepatitis Heart Disease Liver Disease Pregnancy/Nursing (there are no safe oils during pregnancy!) Hormone Replacement Therapy The golden rules for safety: 1) If you are under the care of a physician, seek his/her advice BEFORE starting therapy. 2) If you are pregnant or nursing, do not utilize natural therapies without the express consent and guidance of your doctor. 3) Keep in mind that many oils are phototoxic - meaning they will increase your sensitivity to the sun. Avoid sun exposure after topical use of essential oils. 4) Do a patch test. Always patch test a new oil or blend on a small area of skin to test for sensitivity. The last thing you want is a huge rash because you didn't know you'd be sensitive to the oil! 5) Natural remedies work well with traditional medicine - the key word being 'with'. If you have any medical conditions, are under a doctor's care for ANY reason, or simply have questions/concerns - talk to your medical professional BEFORE you begin a natural therapy regimen.
